What is the conversion factor between meters and miles?
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.
The relationship between meters and miles is 1609.344, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1609.344 meters for every mile, and for every meter, there are 11609.344 miles (0.000621371 mi).
To convert from meters to miles, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.
Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.
Because we are converting from meter to mile, we will use the first fraction: 1 mi1609.344 m so that meters are canceled out. We then multiply the value in meters by this fraction to get the result in miles (see example).
Note that m is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).
You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from m to mi. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from meters to miles is:
Which is bigger, a meter or a mile?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a meter or an mile. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 m = 11609.344 mi = 0.0006213711922 mi
- 0.000621371 mile is smaller than 1 mile.
- 1 meter is, therefore, smaller than 1 mile.
- To be more specific, a mile is 1609.34 times bigger than a meter.

How to convert meters to miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 77 x 1 = 77
- 951 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 951
Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.
For example, if we want to convert 160.934 meters into miles we multiply 160.934 m by the conversion factor of 1 mi1609.344 m
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, meters are canceled out and we get the result in miles. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.
Based on this, we can conclude that 160.934 meters are equal to 0.0999998 miles.
Remember:
- When converting from meters to miles, we use 1 mi1609.344 m as a conversion factor.
